A campaign grounded in community
Public schools help shape not only individual opportunity, but the strength of the entire community. Mark Grossman is running because he believes Patchogue-Medford deserves leadership that listens carefully, communicates openly, and makes decisions with students at the center.
Mark’s Priorities
A practical platform focused on transparency, listening, fiscal responsibility, and experienced leadership.
Listening Comes First
The best way to serve a school community is to listen to it. Mark believes thoughtful leadership begins with hearing from parents, students, staff, and residents before decisions are made.
Honest Communication
Families and community members deserve clear, open communication. Mark believes questions should be answered directly and decisions should be explained with honesty and respect.
Care for Every Dollar
School budgets affect every family and every taxpayer. Mark believes public dollars should be handled responsibly, with close attention to both educational needs and long-term financial stewardship.
Ready to Serve
With experience in education and public service, Mark is prepared to step in and do the work from day one. He will bring a steady, practical approach to the responsibilities of board service.
Students First
Every decision should keep students at the center and support strong public schools across Patchogue-Medford.
Respect for Families
Parents and guardians deserve a board that listens, responds thoughtfully, and values their perspective.
Support for Staff
A strong district depends on educators and staff having the support they need to serve students well.
Community Trust
